I Will Play For Gumbo Lyrics

Artist: Jimmy Buffett
Album: Beach House On The Moon

by: Jimmy Buffett

I don't smoke I don't shoot smackBut I got a spicy monkey riding on my backDon't eat beignets too much sugar and doughBut I will play for gumboHey I will play for gumbo

It started in my grandma's in her kitchen by the seaShe warned me when where she told me "son the first one's free"It hit me like a rock or some TaeKwonDoCause I will play for gumboOh Yeah I will play for gumbo

A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowlGood for the body, good for the soulIt's a little like religion and a lot like sexYou should never know when you're gonna get it next

At midnight in the Quarter or noon in ThibodauxI will play for gumboYes, I will play for gumbo

I'm not talking quesadillas or a dozen Krispy KremesOr a pile of caviar that's a rich man's dreamNo banana split or filet of pompanoNo, I will play for gumboYeah, I will play for gumbo

A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowlGood for the body, good for the soulIt's a little like religion and a lot like sexYou should never know when you're gonna get it next

It could be it's that sausage or those pretty pink shrimpOr that popcorn rice that makes me blow up like a blimpMaybe it's that voodoo from Marie LaveauBut I will play for gumboHey I will play for gumbo

Now the Sauce Boss makes his cookin' on the stageSinging and a-picking for his nightly wageSweating and a frettin' from his head to his toePlayin' and swayin' with the gumboPrayin' and buffetin' with the gumbo

A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowlGood for the body, good for the soulIt's a little like religion and a lot like sexYou should never know when you're gonna get it next

>At midnight in the Quarter or noon in ThibodauxI will play for gumboHey I will play for gumbo
